Firm-wide rules:

  • Micro scalping: accounts may be flagged if more than 50% of profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less. Genuine scalping is allowed if it looks like real market activity.
  • Hedging is prohibited, including opposite positions across multiple accounts and correlated contracts (for example long ES in one account and short NQ in another).
  • High-frequency trading is prohibited. Lucid may remove profits, close accounts, and restrict access for repeated offenses.
  • Inactivity: accounts with no net profit or loss of at least $1 within 30 calendar days are treated as abandoned and permanently deleted.
  • News: allowed on all evaluations and funded accounts except LucidDaily. On LucidDaily, red-folder news is a hard breach — be flat from 1 minute before through 1 minute after the event.

How to pass

Reach the $1,250 profit target without exceeding the $1,000 eod trailing.

Stay inside the 2 mini / 20 micro contract cap.

News trading is listed as allowed on this program. Still confirm the live Lucid news policy before a release.

Do not hedge across accounts or correlated products, and do not run HFT. Avoid the micro-scalping pattern Lucid flags (most profits from sub-5-second trades).

Trade at least $1 of net P&L within 30 calendar days or the account can be deleted for inactivity.

How payouts work

  • Profit split: 90%
  • Payout methods: Crypto, Plaid, WorkMarket

  • Table/card max payout or live cap: $1,000
  • Commissions: https://support.lucidtrading.com/en/articles/11508978-approved-products-and-commissions

Common mistakes

  • Treating a third-party listing price as Lucid's official checkout terms.
  • Assuming LucidDaily news rules apply to this program. News is listed as allowed here.
  • Hedging ES vs NQ (or any correlated pair) across separate accounts.
  • Letting the account sit 30 days with no $1 P&L.
  • Ignoring the program-specific consistency, buffer, or 5-profitable-day rule when requesting a payout.

A practical risk plan

Plan trades so a normal losing day cannot consume most of the $1,000 max loss.

The profit target is 5% of the account; the max loss is 4%. Size so you can survive a string of losses and still have room to reach the target.
